I have only read half the book but I think it's boring =) So I don't know the end yet.<BR/>And also for this report about your Stevenson-book. Even I be curious about it! I must say the cover looks beautiful and sofisticated =) Sometimes I bought books because of the covers, especially books from the 50's that often have very nice pattern on the covers. You can see some of them here: <BR/><BR/>http://jagblommar.blogspot.com/2007/10/vackra-bcker.html<BR/><BR/>I called it "Beautiful books"<BR/><BR/>At last I my must say that maybe is this contact with you a good lesson for my english and for my confidence to use it. I think you understand even if it's not correct grammatically =)Have a nice day!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828256132458146921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-51930460094590361042008-05-28T13:39:00.000+10:002008-05-28T13:39:00.000+10:00I felt like I was there discovering the book with ...I felt like I was there discovering the book with you.

Reading your extract from Stevenson made me realise I haven't read anything by him except Treasure Island, I'll immediately put the title you picked on my list! <BR/>Your Swedish is improving I think, you guessed correctly about the text I had picked. It was from an analysis of a Swedish short-story by one of our famous old authors. <BR/>And, besides, my name is Karin, I just add the name of my blog in a way to it since there are so many Karins out there ;-) My blog's name is from Candide by Voltaire, he says in the end "il faut cultiver son jardin", you have to cultivate your garden and "odla sin trädgård" means "cultivate one's garden" and I've added in both a literal and a spiritual sense. Ooops, long entry!

For me, it's the smell of mothballs. Not quite the same lovely bookish-smell like yours...but when I smell them, I can see him so clearly, sitting in his study at his desk, turning to look at me, with his heavy plaid shirt on, his white hair combed and parted, and his bemused smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-12184250162157434592008-05-28T04:03:00.000+10:002008-05-28T04:03:00.000+10:00You're lovely!
